Ancon - Building Products

Ancon Shearfix comprises double-headed studs welded to flat rails. It is manufactured to suit the specific requirements of each application.

Studs are manufactured in six diameters (10, 12, 14, 16, 20 and 24mm) from high strength steel bar. The heads are hot forged to three times the diameter of the bar. Studs are manufactured in virtually any length to suit the depth of slab, but are normally formed in increments of 10mm within the 100-500mm range. The bar used in this system has characteristic yield strength of 500N/mm².

Studs are welded to the rail at the centres determined by Ancon’s software or a design calculation. Shearfix rails are manufactured from strips of steel, 16mm wide. The gap between the strips allows for the passage of concrete during pouring and also enables the rail to be nailed to formwork when fixed ‘bottom up’ i.e. prior to all other reinforcement.

Each rail of studs carries the following identification:

Shearfix Code, Stud Diameter - Number of Studs - Stud Length - Rail Length
Column/Grid Reference (Optional)
Floor Level (Optional)
